Sadness Wins Again
Today
I walk old images
That lie abandoned
On tumbleweed mind
Through opaque window
Clouds mist those yesterday's
Yet neath scattered dust
Still there I find
The moments that once filled this life
That had me manic in the rain
Promised love, a child a wife
Old waters flow, no final drain
déjà vu sunset last
Warming memories
Best left far behind
Reminiscent
Tears diamante run
From neon city skies
Against windowpane
The city streets
Autumn's tortured reach
Taps at window
Such rhythmic pain
Your memories medications fight
My reality, old bleeding wound
This one way path leading to your face
Destroys last sanctuary of chemical womb
On nights such as this
I break whilst I reminisce
As sadness wins again
I'm just not strong enough
To both lose your love
And court loneliness, without a friend
